BMR or Pfadt Trailing Arms - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

I am ready to purchase a set of trailing arms. Can't decide between BMR or Pfadt.
The BMR trailing arms along with the outer bushing kit costs $190.

The Pfadt arms that include the outer bushings cost $239.

What are the pros/cons or each?

i don't know for sure but i think the price for BMR & Pfadt trailing arms with the outer bushings is nearly the same i think you post the price for BMR w/o outer bushings
any way i like both BMR & Pfadt but ill go with Pfdat on this one

$190 is for trailing arms AND outer bushings...

Our trailing arms are 106 stronger than stock, have 17% less mass, and reduces deflection by 32%.

Lighter, stronger, stiffer and GMPP certified.

Coke-vs-Pepsi. I have BMR because they look better being beefy and red as opposed to looking like a cheap cell phone tower. I am sure the Pfadt ones are fine. Their prepped cars seem to do well. I have ZERO complaints about my BMR prepped car and the customer service has been stellar!

Buffnshine · 04-21-2011, 01:01 PM

Again PFADT all the way, plus they look so damn hot under there

Thanks for the mention and your order. The good news is that if you are down to Pfadt or BMR you can't make a bad decision. You will not be disappointed with either one. We choose to offer both Pfadt and BMR because they build great products that do exactly what they say they will and if you have an issue they stand behind them 100%.

LOL, pfdat design is not only stronger but lighter... I guess looks can be deceiving. It's called truss designs, very commonly used in bridges.
